Man, last night was tough to watch…Jim Burr, Tim Higgins and Earl Walton made a mockery of officiating and the Knicks have made a habit of faltering late in the fourth quarter.

Highlightin’ Hoops: The Big East Is Back

How dare I forget the magical month of March. It really is embarrassing, shameful even. This is the time of year that college basketball players live for.

We all know the big names that played Superman, an icon that is synonymous with superhuman qualities. But did any of them possess the real-life attributes seen by Dwight Howard night in and night out?

Highlightin’ Hoops: Knicks Turn Down Heat

In only their third game together, we learned a lot about the new-look Knicks. After a head shaking performance in Cleveland Friday night, Carmelo and Co. responded with a gritty, hard-nosed, defensive-minded victory over the Heat.

Highlightin’ Hoops: The New Look Knicks

It’s Carmelo Anthony, it’s Amar’e Stoudemire… it’s Toney Douglas? On a night when the Knicks rolled out their red carpet to a new marquee name, it was their point-guard understudy that stole the show.

Highlightin’ Hoops: Walsh Is A Winner

Donnie Walsh could have played hardball, but what if the Nets found a way to get it done? What if Thursday came and went and the Knicks didn’t have ‘Melo? This city would be in an uproar.

Highlightin’ Hoops: Excited About Melo

For Knicks fans, Carmelo Anthony justifies the time spent wallowing in frustration, cursing at a TV, launching a utensil or small glass in utter anger.

Highlightin’ Hoops: Knicks Don’t Love LA

There haven’t been a lot of times this year where I’ve said it. In fact, this was the first time in the last eight weeks where it was evident. The New York Knicks were overmatched.

Highlightin’ Hoops: Point Proven

Can we be done? Is it safe to say that the Knicks have now proven a point? Can they get some of the respect that they actually deserve?

Highlightin’ Hoops: Knicks’ Stoudemire… MVP?

The New York Mets might as well offer Amar’e Stoudemire a $10 million deal for next summer, because STAT is rapidly becoming the most talked about closer in town.
